    This badass is my dog's brother - best working dog winner at Crufts today. I'm actually not a massive fan of Crufts and that kind of dog showing, but my boy is proper champion stock and I'll be cheering 'Dave' on on Sunday where he's up for best in show.

    Not a massive dog lover, but "I don't mind" them.

    However, if I ever had a dog, I'd...

    I always liked the Scottish Lorne sausage, when i used to work up there many moons ago.

    I used to love that Scottish square sausage some cafes offer... but I had to stop ordering it as the woman behind the counter always took the pith out of my lisp!

    I haven't read all of this post and I might be barking up the wrong tree.

    But I am pretty sure the rules governing this flight would come under the CAA/FCAA not the FAA (Like I said I might be wrong and I am sure the rules are similar) FAA governs the USA and also covers several other countries.

    UK - CAA

    France - FCAA

    Can't remember, as what I read has now left my brain again!

    I recall something about state of ownership/state of registration, blah, blah, option to throw it over to someone else etc (as to who carries out the investigation, and under which governing bodies).  It's all in the first few paragraphs of the linked report.

    What I can say though, is that all the wording in italics (in my post) was taken from the linked pdf (posted by @RamNut, top of this page), which appears to be the official report from official investigators... thus far!

    So, amongst other things...

    The pilot's licence does not cover taking passengers for reward.

    Passenger(s) can, however, be carried under "cost sharing" restrictions. 

    And...

    "The FAA issued legal interpretations in 200917 and 201418 making clear that a pilot must not pay less than the pro rata share for the flight. If the flight involves the pilot and one passenger, then the pilot must pay half the operating expenses. The ruling also made clear that the pilot must have a bona fide purpose (also known as common purpose) for making the flight and must dictate when the flight is to go. The flight must not be made for the purpose of merely transporting the passenger".

     

    ... "The investigation continues to examine all pertinent operational, technical, organisational and human factors which might have contributed to the accident. In particular, work will be undertaken to:

    a. Refine the analysis of the radar information to try and understand the last few minutes of the flight.

    b. Assess the possible implications of the weather conditions in the area at the time of the accident.

    c. Analyse video from the ROV to determine the aircraft attitude as it entered the water.

    d. Consider the regulatory requirements surrounding the flight including airworthiness requirements, aircraft permissions and flight crew licencing.

    A final report will be published in due course."

     

    I'm saying nothing!

    Raise prices of your TV subscription just because they can.

    I went to NowTV in Jan (from Virgin)... and the Sky Sports day pass has already gone up a quid to £8.99!

     

    I'll be cashing in my freebie day pass for tonight though, so fe*k 'em, for now... I'll have a moan when I have to pay for the next one!

    Hover over where it says how long ago the post was made and it will show the date and time a post was made.

    Jeez!

    It's like you are some sort of mystical Wizard with powers beyond earthly comprehension.

    This forum just gets fantasticer and amazinger by the hour!

    Can I have my ashes scattered here?*... it's like my new favouritest place to be!

     

     

    *Don't need an answer straight away, but get back to me next week... just in case!

  7. Just thinking out loud... really not a biggy, but it could be a slight improvement (in my opinion)...

     

    The timing of posts... A few days ago shows the date only.  Earlier today just gives the hint of  "1 hr ago" or "3hrs ago" etc.

    Timing can be critical... particularly on match days!  "Did he post that before our late winner, or after?"  "Was that post made before or after the red card?"  "Did he post that before I posted the same thing in a different thread?" etc.

    Even with the "5 days ago", we have to count back, to work out what day that was.  Matchday?  The day before?  The day after?  Was it just after midnight (3 hours after a game) or late that evening (24 hours after the game)?

     

    Can the posts therefore show day, date and time, or is the current approximation the best we can hope for? 

     

    ...not asking for a friend... for obvious reasons!

    Pretty sure it was his outbox ?

    It was the best I could do, with the words I had at my disposal, but yes, the same thought crossed my mind as I wrote it!

    I'd have got away with it, if it wasn't for you pesky kids!

     

    ...Anyway... it could also be his inbox... each to their own, 'n all that!

    It normally does! Thing is I just join the motorway safely and sit in the inside lane a good distance behind any lorry doing around 55-60mph. The morons behind me shoot into the outside lane doing 80mph+ and I usually pass them 15 minutes further up the road. I don't swap lanes at all unless behind a very slow-moving lorry going up hill for example.

    Imagine how many of those outside-lane morons you'd pass if you occasionally upped it to 65mph, and overtook a few of those lorries, before immediately returning to lane one. 

    Try it, and let us know what you think.
